Berkshire and Buckinghamshire - Ancestors and Genealogy

Great news for those with ancestors from Newbury or the Newbury area.
Berkshire Family History Society has just published the transcripts of Newbury St Nicolas Parish Registers in CD format. In due course, we will produce Data Downloads of the material and also publish it on Findmypast.
This project has been over four years in the making, partly because some of St Nicolas’ registers are extremely fragile and partly because this is a very large parish. Our journey has included special imaging of some registers, and checking some under ultraviolet light. A huge thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who have worked on these registers.
The CD contains a full transcription of the parish register entries and is fully indexed. It also contains a brief history of Newbury. The Coverage is: Baptisms 1538-1910, Banns 1754-1904, Marriages 1538-1917 and Burials 1538-1965. It costs £12 (members of Berkshire Family History Society £10.80) and you can purchase a copy at

Berkshire Family History Society is a registered charity, number 283010.
My great-great-great-grandmother is said to have been born in Newbury from one of her census returns. It would be wonderful to find her in the PRs.
